Foodtography {WW #26}

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

Ashley & Branson were at it again with Tutorial Tuesday. This week was Foodtography. I have always admired foodtography, but I have never been good at it. I took some of the tutorials & tips they shared to take these photos today. They came out okay but I still am not happy with them. Do you have any suggestions?  Which one is your favorite?

Oh and if you want to see some awesome foodtography you should check out Natalies blog. She shares recipes and awesome photos.

    This post has totally inspired me to start taking better food pictures. Going to get on making a light box too! I want to start taking pics of the recipes I have on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hello! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

    Those pics look yummy! :) Makes me hungry!

    February 8, 2012 at 7:27 pm

    I have no suggestions as I am a total beginner of food photography and still feeling/learning my way along. Love all the captures, the first apple shot is my fav though :)
  10. Kim Stevens says

    February 8, 2012 at 6:23 pm

    My favorite is the first apple, I really like the perspective. I don't have any tips though, food is something I struggle taking photos of. I like the one of the toast too, makes me hungry! : )

    Such bright colors! I love the m&m shot
  16. Lea says

    February 8, 2012 at 4:37 pm

    That orange is actually looking better than anything else right now (strange for me because I love M & Ms). Nice Foodtography :)
  17. Camille says

    Amazing pics! Thanks for hosting:)
  18. Kim says

    I think these are good. I stink at food photography. Really stink. Great job.
  19. Rosie@leavesnbloom says

    February 8, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    Oh yummy that toast with jam is making me hungry. I really should practice food photography at home.......but the light is so dreadful in my kitchen especially at this time of year.
  20. Kenya G. Johnson says

    February 8, 2012 at 1:56 pm

    You totally made me grab a handful of M&Ms. I keep them in the freezer and try to stay out of them ;-) Beautiful foodtography! I might have to to make a PB&J too.
  21. Nolie says

    February 8, 2012 at 1:55 pm

    Those are some awesome shots.
  22. Stacy Uncorked says

    Those are all amazing! My favorite one is the orange. :)
  23. Anne U says

    February 8, 2012 at 1:16 pm

    I think the apple shots are my favorite!
  24. April @ Red-Dirt-Mama says

    February 8, 2012 at 1:02 pm

    I think it looks great! I take a lot of food pictures when I'm sharing recipes, but I have poor lighting and they rarely look great!
  25. Tish says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:21 pm

    i think you did a fantastic job on the photos. my favorite is definitely the oranges. they just look so juicy! i also love that you can see their reflection a bit.
  26. Nicolette says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:00 pm

    My foodtography can use some work so thanks for sharing the link. I think the first and the last are my favorite. Thanks for hosting.
  27. Christina Klas says

    February 8, 2012 at 11:51 am

    You had me at food. ;) I think my fave is the first one. The colors are great! :)
  28. Julie {Angry Julie Monday} says

    February 8, 2012 at 11:26 am

    I love the orange. If you squeezed it a little and had some juice dribbles, it would be perfection! Or maybe it is because I love the color orange.
  29. Susan says

    February 8, 2012 at 11:26 am

    Fun! I like the perspective of the first apple shot as well as the last jam on toast shot. (The knife draws your eye into the center of the shot and up, and then the jar brings your eye back around to the knife again, so it keeps your eyes looking at the shot.)
  30. Run DMT says

    February 8, 2012 at 11:09 am

    I think you did great! I'm still learning the whole foodtography thing. I did learn a nifty trick where you make a light board using foil and a cereal box to help with lighting. I think I pinned it in Pinterest. Yep, I did pin it. http://pinterest.com/pin/116178865356887419/
  31. Lori says

    February 8, 2012 at 10:45 am

    Those shots are so life like!
  32. Rachelle says

    February 8, 2012 at 10:11 am

    I love the second picture. I haven't studied much on food photography, but I thought these turned out really good.
  33. Gina says

    February 8, 2012 at 10:10 am

    Lovely!!!! You know my sweet tooth is telling me that the M&M's are the favorite to pick. However- I love your orange. If I wasn't allergic I soooooo would have had one cut open when I did my pics of the ones we had in the house. Makes me want some even though I shouldn't :)
  34. Tessa @ Tales of Two Girls says

    February 8, 2012 at 9:12 am

    This post made me hungry!! Those pictures are great.
  35. mommy baum says

    February 8, 2012 at 9:09 am

    ooooooh! fun photos! i have always admired foodtography as well, though it seems tricky to master. i think the orange is my favorite, and i think it is because of the color of the wood that it is sitting on. makes the photo look really cohesive. ;) great work!
  36. Erin says

    February 8, 2012 at 8:53 am

    These photos are wonderful! I swear photographing food is SO much harder than you'd ever think..or at least than I thought :) Thanks for hosting confessionsofamagnoliamom.blogspot.com
  37. Amy @ Marvelous Mommy says

    February 8, 2012 at 7:57 am

    Food is a hard thing to capture sometimes!! You did a great job!!
  38. secret mom thoughts says

    February 8, 2012 at 7:26 am

    I like the apple shots the best but they are all good.
  39. mommy in the midwest says

    February 8, 2012 at 7:23 am

    The orange! It looks so juicy and appetizing I almost licked my computer screen. :) Love the bright colors of the foodtography.
  40. dumb mom says

    February 8, 2012 at 6:24 am

    My problem with food photos is the creepy lighting in my house. I basically have to cook in the morning, and put the plate on the floor by my back door to get a halfway decent shot. I never cook in the morning. I think yours came out nice. I like the orange one the most!
  41. hannah says

    February 8, 2012 at 6:21 am

    So fresh and inviting. You seem to have taken all the pointers on board.
  42. Martina says

    February 8, 2012 at 5:47 am

    Wow, I really like them! I especially like the orange.

  46. Amanda says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:43 am

    I think they turned out really great! The orange is my favorite.....there is SO much detail in that photo! Actually, all of your pictures just made me really hungry ;)
  47. Amy @ Counting My Kisses says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:25 am

    Great pictures! Love the apple ones...I feel like they are so fresh & crisp, I just want to eat one as a snack. :)
  48. debi9kids says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:17 am

    I think they are fantastic! My mouth is watering thanks to that orange. YUM!
  49. Elaine says

    February 8, 2012 at 12:04 am

    I really like the first one. The lighting is nice, and that orange looks really yummy!! :)
  50. Life with Kaishon says

    February 7, 2012 at 11:47 pm

    It looks like you did a great job. I love the orange. So pretty and bright : )
  51. Kimberly says

    February 7, 2012 at 10:42 pm

    I like the orange! I struggle with photographing food also. Especially in my kitchen where the lighting has always been terrible. Hopefully once the new kitchen is in, it will be better for photographing food.
  52. Honey Mommy says

    February 7, 2012 at 10:34 pm

    I like the second picture the best. I love the way you framed the apple. The orange looks yummy too! I am not very good at taking pictures of food either. I don't know why, but it is not my cup of tea!
  53. Alexia @ Babies&Bacon says

    February 7, 2012 at 10:31 pm

    Yummy photos! I wanna take a bite of that apple!
  54. Serendipity is Sweet says

    February 7, 2012 at 10:30 pm

    I like that first one of the apple best. I think the light was a little better in your apple shots. But, I also like the coziness of the toast - it looks charming and conjures up images of a cottage breakfast ;) I think these are pretty darn good. Food photography isn't easy and I am never very pleased with my attempts.
  55. Tabitha / Fresh Mommy Blog says

    February 7, 2012 at 9:48 pm

    I think these are pretty great!! The first two are my faves :) ~Tabitha
  56. melissa says

    February 7, 2012 at 9:23 pm

    Yum!!!
  57. Kim C. says

    February 7, 2012 at 9:17 pm

    I like the orange best, but they are all good to me. I am not a foodtographer either, with me I think it is a problem of angles. I just haven't figured it out.
  58. Branson says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:44 pm

    I adore that first apple shot!! Wonderful! :)
  59. Ashley Sisk says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:42 pm

    I think my favorite is the overhead shot of the apple - it's kinda unexpected so it's more interesting to my eye.
  60. Amy at love-bug-blog.com says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:42 pm

    Beautiful food photos!!
  61. Kris @ Beyond the Whiskers says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:19 pm

    Mouthwatering as always. The yellow is so vibrant! I can’t even choose a favorite. That being said, I’m heading to the kitchen right now for a drink and some candies!
  62. Lolo says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:11 pm

    I love how vibrant that orange is!
  63. Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says

    I'm horrible at foodtography. I think I like the orange the best~great color.
  65. Kristi {at} Live and Love Out Loud says

    February 7, 2012 at 7:47 pm

    These are great! I think the first apple photo is my favorite. :)
  66. Amy {babybabylemon} says

    February 7, 2012 at 7:31 pm

    Really cool. I especially like the orange.
  67. Searching 4 Simplicity says

    February 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm

    Wow, I really like them! I think the M and M's are my favorite. I also really like the first apple.
  68. alicia says

    February 7, 2012 at 7:22 pm

    It's definitely a gift. One that I don't seem to posess. lol. I'm really diggin the toast pic with the jam on the knife. I think the more realistic the better perhaps? I say that yet I know great food art takes tons of staging. :)
  69. Jenny says

    February 7, 2012 at 7:14 pm

    um you are SO good at food-tography!
  70. Michelle Kennedy says

    February 7, 2012 at 6:56 pm

    Well I think they look great :) My favourite is the orange, it's making me really thirsty looking at how juicy it is. I'm also wishing I'd thought to buy oranges when I was at the shops 5 minutes ago, lol
  71. Tinas Picstory says

    February 7, 2012 at 6:10 pm

    great pics! :)

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
